ONE HOT MESS!

Pros

36.5 hour work week. But work demand is 45+hours. Great campus! Vehicle program, if you qualify!

Cons

Extremely negative atmosphere. Upper management does NOT value staff. Senior management would do whatever it takes to protect their own jobs and advance their own careers. The owner is absent, clueless, and dismissive.

Do As I Say, Not As I Do

Pros

- compensation is fairly competitive - 36.5 hour work week (when you can get away with it) - perks (vehicle program)

Cons

- Culture is extremely distrustful and many co-workers play politics, so you cannot be honest in your communication with others, lest you risk losing your job. - Senior leadership are by and large not truly qualified for the leadership aspect of their jobs/roles and have a top-down mentality. Any challenges to their ideas/ways of thinking are met with swift fallout instead of open discussion. - While open communication, honesty and integrity are preached from the top, the truth is that the organization is rife with backroom politics and lawyers run the show. Many conversations that are clearly inappropriate ie: how to let go an individual, are held face to face but carefully left out of email/voicemail messages to ensure there's nothing discoverable.

Pros

Beautiful campus, great gym, great product

Cons

Sr. Management is a mess! They only care about themselves. They will turn things around on a dime to fit there needs. Honestly, they are not very smart for VPs. It's all political BS all the time and God forbid you don't drink the kool-aid.... If you speak your mind you will pay the consequences dearly.... They allow sr management to twist thingscand retaliate.... It's quite disgusting.... Some people get away with murder... Disrespecting others at all turns, and they are still there...
